Palestine-syrian Frontier Pact

August 1, 1923

London (Aug. 1)

The agreement between Great Britain and France respecting the boundaries between Syria and Palestine is published today by the Colonial Office as a White Paper. The agreement was signed February 3, 1922, by a special commission representing the two governments. It was ratified by both Powers in March 1923. Under this agreement the northern boundary of Palestine extends beyond the Hulah marshes.
